Continue to vote your option. Public Transport needs incentives. Shouldnt this be one of them?

It would be interesting to hear some comments from the people who say 'NO' to the poll on the rationale behind the 'NO'

 Well, most of the companies provide pickups and drops. This can also be considered as Public Transport since it is pooled one. We know many complaints about BMTC as an excuse to get away from this, atleast office transport should be used for office commute.

People would always complain that  Public Transport is not good to get away from this. But, many are already using them. 

Direct tax like this would mean protests and what not. Also, some new project or infrastructure to collect the tax or toll. Indirect taxs or measures - like forcing 1 year worth bus-pass purchase with each car registration, or bus lanes to make car guys struggle even more with congestion - would work better.

Also, congestion tax in Bangalore is different deal from Tax in London. Here, most car owners are well off enough to not mind paying Rs 100 everyday to drive in. Higher tax amount than that would mean protests, courts and what not.

Not passive annual tax but gantry based instant electronic road pricing. Charge for using arterial or corridor roads.

Example: Bellary road from Hebbal flyover thru CBD all the way to Silkboard flyover and continuing on to BETL. This will become feasible once the corridor becomes signal free, so those going across the road wont be charged. Rs 50 every time your vehicle enters the road or leaves it (Rs. 100 min). Public transport should be exempt (bus, surface rail etc).
